DESAFIOS E BENEFÍCIOS DO TRABALHO INTERDISCIPLINAR NOS ANOS FINAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL E NO ENSINO MÉDIO: UM ESTUDO REALIZADO COM DOCENTES DA CIDADE DE NITERÓI - RJ

Abstract

In recent decades, the discussion regarding the importance and viability of interdisciplinary work in the educational field, as one of the possible means of contributing to facilitating the production and dissemination of knowledge, has generated many controversies. However, there is at least one passive point regarding its objective, which is to help spread knowledge, making it less fragmented and limited, thus providing an effective dialogue between the curricular components. This article aims to discuss the relevance of interdisciplinarity in the final years of Elementary and Secondary Education, based on research carried out with forty volunteer teachers from public and private education networks in the city of Niterói. The study sought to examine the possible challenges and benefits that interdisciplinary practice can offer and analyzed the statements of educators about their daily experiences in relation to this theme. The methodology used was based on a predominantly qualitative approach with quantitative treatment of part of the data and included information collection carried out by filling out forms. As a result, it was observed that teachers see the interdisciplinary approach as a potentially rich work possibility, but not without difficulties. According to the survey, the majority perceive this perspective as a way to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the problems that permeate society, to stimulate creativity and to promote greater involvement and commitment of the student body to school. . However, planning, availability of resources and personnel, and also the required knowledge, are obstacles to its effective implementation.
